Visited 17/10/2017. Visited La Capanna during a short break in San Marino April 2015. Magnificent location situated in the old City close to 1st Tower with large patio area and stunning views. At the time had a very good selection of international bottled beers, with all 4 of San Marino's Titanbrau brewery beers available, plus 1 extra on tap. Food is decent, service friendly, value is reasonable. Updated October 2017. Doesn't have the beer range it did before. Management has changed since, and the La Capanna beer that Titanbrau brewed for them was stopped. Only had one local beer and a small number of Belgians. Location still as stunning as ever though.

Visited 17/10/2017. Contacted the brewery in advance of a visit to San Marino and was warmly welcomed by Andrea who showed us around his brewery and gave us a beer tasting. 5 beers available at the time of visiting, all of good to very good standard. Bought some of each to bring home. The brewery shop is normally open in the morning from 10 to 12 snd in the afternoon from 15:30 to 18:30 but best to check in advance if planning to visit. It is situated very close to Strange Pub at the rear of a Tabacchi just passed Strange Pub as you head into the City (the position on the RateBeer map is wrong though the address is correct). Well worth a visit.

Visited 25/7/2016. Wanting to buy some rare and interesting Italian craft beer to take back to UK I visited Domus Birrae shortly before their closing time and spent an unhurried 20-30 minutes with a very helpful and enthusiastic young lady who talked me through the different brewers and styles available. Came away with a good selection of big bottles for sharing back home plus a couple 'to go' it's a top notch place to visit for Italian craft beer when in Rome. Shame it's since closed.

Visited 22/6/2017. Was looking for a beer shop and couldn't find it so came into the pub. Very compact place with not a lot of seating and very hot inside unless sat at bar. Interesting selection on tap, mix of very local and international nothing macro. Small but good selection of bottles in one main fridge adjacent to the bar. On street drinking was preferable to being inside. Worth a visit if in the area.

24/2/2017. Nice bottle shop/bar in central Pisa. Contacted them via Messenger and had a very helpful conversation with Francesco with whom I sorted out an order of 6 bottles from new to me Italian breweries which he put to one side ready for my wife to then collect when she was in Pisa last week. She loved the place when she then collected them for me!
